The Netherlands as evaluating competent authority (SA-APP)

If you would like to apply for an simplified authorisation with the Netherlands as acting evaluating Competent Authority (eCA). You should seek contact with our Ctgb account manager for an eCA agreement. After receiving the eCA agreement you must submit your application through ECHA’s information system (R4BP) and refer to a biocidal product dossier in IUCLID. This dossier should contain all information to evaluate your application.

The procedure for simplified authorisations is further described on ECHA’s website.

To notify at the Netherlands (SA-NOT)

After a simplified authorisation of a biocidal product in one member state (eCA), the biocidal product can be placed on the market in any other member state after notification. The notification must be made no later than 30 days before placing the biocidal product on the market in the territory of the member state. 

If you wish to notify your biocidal product at the Netherlands please do so in accordance with Article 27 of the Biocidal Products Regulation (EU) Nr. 528/2012. You will need to submit your notification through ECHA’s information system (R4BP).

Please include a reference to the authorised simplified authorisation and provide a Dutch translation of the Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC) in XML and Word format.

Within the 30 days notification the Netherlands may object, to making available on the market or use of the product on its territory, if the Netherlands disagrees with the evaluation or the SPC needs adjustments. During this objection the biocidal product is not allowed on the Dutch market.

The Netherlands and the eCA will then have 60 days to resolve any issues on the authorisation. If no agreement has been reached within these 60 days ór the SPC needs adjustments the Netherlands has 10 days to send a referral to the Coordination Group.
